Swift Boat supporter as Ambassador?

Today the Senate Foreign Relations Committee considered the nomination of Republican hack Sam Fox to be Ambassador to Belgium.

Who is Sam Fox? WhiteHouseForSale.org says Sam Fox is a Bush Ranger, responsible for millions of dollars of donations to both the Bush-Cheney campaigns and the Republican Party. He's also contributed to the defense of Scooter Libby. In addition, in late 2004 Fox gave $50,000 to the misnamed Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, the liars who made it their mission to discredit a highly-decorated Vietnam Veteran, Senator John Kerry.

Members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee who questioned Fox included Senator Jim Webb, a decorated Marine officer who was wounded in Vietnam, and...John Kerry.

I can't wait to see how this turned out.

Update: Kerry hit Fox hard. I really hope this nomination fails.
